I became interested in working with pregnant and new families while I was practicing massage therapy, I especially liked doing prenatal and postpartum massage. I'd always considered becoming a midwife, but wanted to start my own family first. A client of mine was a doula teacher, and it only seemed natural for me to become a doula, to continue toward my dream of becoming a midwife. I've been practicing as a birth and postpartum doula now since 2002. I have a daughter born in 2005, and a son born in 2008. Although I’m busy as a mother, I stay active in my life’s work. I like to focus my expertise to prenatal and postpartum services, so I’ve since trained as a Whole Birth prenatal yoga instructor, and a Birthing From Within childbirth mentor, and a Placenta Encapsulation Specialist. I love to do art and ritual, so I do belly casting, and mother blessing ritual preparation as well! I look forward to working with you on your journey!
